We must be thinking of two different John Barrows. Which is natural, since there are two John Barrows: one for conservative parts of his district and one for liberal parts of his district.
Last election cycle, he sent two mailers out on the same day. One bragged about how he was “standing up to the Obama administration” and the other said he was “working hand in hand with President Obama.” He even exaggerates his accent more when he’s in rural parts of the district.

I wonder if he’ll skip both GPB/APC debates like he did in 2010, when he wouldn’t participate in televised debates with Regina Thomas or Ray McKinney.
He also dodged a debate in Vidalia last election cycle, saying he had to stay in Washington for some important votes that night. There were no votes scheduled for the day before, the day of, or the day afterward.

A centrist democrat? He should be put on the Endangered Species List and offered protection. I have always wondered where people like Sam Nunn have gone to, they shurely are drowned out by the far left these days!

What is this “far left” you speak of? There is no far left in the United States, just a range from centrist Democrats (what you no doubt would call the “far left,” like Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank) to far-right Republicans. The one exception that proves the rule is Bernie Sanders, who is left but not far left. For the far left, you have to go overseas to countries that actually still have a Communist Party, like Italy.
